I have quite a fleet of meds that I take on a daily basis - a batch in the morning and a batch at night. And actually, "med" is probably the wrong term. Most of what I take are vitamins and supplements. My only morning prescription med is the very benign Singular.
However, my nighttime meds are a little more potent. There are few supplements tossed in the mix, but I also take two more powerful drugs, both of which are key players in treating my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Well, last night I was a total space cadet. I took my meds at about 10:00 PM and promptly forgot the entire act. An hour later, I was getting ready for bed and took another batch - I didn't notice that the Friday container was gone and that I had grabbed the Saturday container. Well, I didn't notice until it was too late - just after I had completely swallowed the whole Saturday kit and kaboodle. sigh...
I contemplated the ramifications of my stupidity. I wasn't going to die. But I would completely blow my Saturday - I wouldn't be able to get out of bed until dinner time. It was obvious that I had only one option - the ol' fingers down the throat trick. Which I have never done in my life. But, since I wasn't interested in sleeping my Saturday away, I had to go for it.
Which I did. Unfortunately, the potent pills are small and digest quickly. As a result, I was not completely succesful. I went to sleep not having any idea at what time I might actually wake up - morning or night.
Surprisingly, I managed to stagger out of bed at 10:00 AM. I've been a zombie most of today and the fog is just now beginning to lift. But at least there's still part of Saturday left.
I do have to say that I feel well rested!
